  • Should we be worried about Kevin Fiala? [10K Rinks]

Off the trail...

  • Patrick Marleau broke the all-time games played record with his 1,768th on Monday and had a hell of a time doing it. [The Athletic]
  • The Ontario Hockey League has cancelled their entire season after multiple attempts at planning to resume. With that, let’s look into how that affects the 2021 NHL Draft. [The Athletic]
  • The Boston Bruins are heating up and have a chance to make significant ground in the East Division standings before the end of the regular season. [NBC Sports]
